Online Chemistry Tutoring for Ontario Grades 11 and 12

A student crosses a bridge built from a ball-and-stick molecule model toward a university building while a tutor places the final atom.

We match your teen with a graduate-level tutor who finds where SCH3U or SCH4U marks are slipping and rebuilds those topics, all semester.

Where chemistry marks are usually lost

And how a tutor fixes them

Chemistry changes in Grade 11. SCH3U turns it into a language with rules (bonding, naming, the mole), and SCH4U stacks equilibrium, organic chemistry and electrochemistry on top. When a mark slips, it usually comes down to two or three specific topics that can be fixed, not a student who is bad at chemistry. The stakes are real: many engineering, nursing, life science and health science programs require SCH4U.

Stoichiometry chains in SCH3U

ICE tables and equilibrium in SCH4U

Organic naming and reaction prediction

Mole problems chain four or five easy steps, so one early slip gives a confidently wrong answer. A tutor finds the real cause, usually the mole-ratio setup, then practises full chains until they are automatic.

Many students can recite Le Châtelier's principle and still freeze on an ICE table, which needs setup, algebra and the equilibrium constant at once. A tutor builds the molecular picture beside the math, then drills exam-style problems.

Functional groups, IUPAC naming and reaction types pile up fast and cannot be crammed the night before. A tutor teaches the patterns behind the reactions, then uses spaced review so naming and prediction hold up on the final.

The Ontario chemistry courses we tutor

Ontario curriculum, grade by grade

SCH3U

Grade 11

Grade 11 Chemistry

Matter and bonding, chemical reactions, quantities in reactions, solutions and solubility, and gases. Gaps here tend to resurface in SCH4U.

SCH4U

Grade 12

Grade 12 Chemistry

Organic chemistry, structure and properties of matter, energy and rates, equilibrium and electrochemistry. Many engineering, nursing and science programs require it.

SCH4U

Exam prep

Grade 12 Chemistry Exam Prep

Covers where SCH4U finals cost the most marks, plus a four-week plan to close those gaps before exam day.

SNC1W SNC2D

Grades 9 and 10

Grade 9 and 10 Chemistry

Before SCH3U, chemistry is a unit of Grade 9 and 10 Science. Atoms, naming compounds and balancing equations from those units are what SCH3U builds on.

What Families Say

Chemistry tutoring questions, answered

How quickly can my child start with a chemistry tutor?

Tutoring can usually start within 2 to 3 days. Request a Tutor online with one short form, or book a free, no-obligation consultation if you would like to talk first. Your child keeps the same tutor all semester.

Who are the chemistry tutors?

Our chemistry tutors are Master's, PhD and medical students and recent graduates from Canadian universities such as uOttawa and Carleton, with backgrounds in biochemistry, biomedical science and medicine. Every tutor is vetted in three steps, and we switch tutors if the fit is not right.

Are lessons online or in person?

All lessons are live online and one-on-one. Tutor and student work on an interactive whiteboard, which suits Lewis structures, stoichiometry and ICE tables. Each session is recorded, and a summary and notes are shared afterwards.

Does SCH4U matter for university admission?

For many programs, yes. Many Ontario engineering, nursing, life science and health science programs require SCH4U, and a required course counts in the admission average. Some health science programs only recommend it, so check each program's requirements early.

When should we start chemistry exam prep?

Start at least three weeks before the final, ideally four. Prep begins with a full-course diagnostic, then targets the highest-yield gaps with spaced review, which holds up far better than a cram weekend.

Can the tutor help with tests and lab reports, or just homework?

Yes, all three. Sessions are built around what the student needs most, whether that is an upcoming unit test, a lab report, homework or rebuilding SCH3U foundations before SCH4U.
